In Reply to: Of course Tidal is decoding MQA... posted by Steve Cortez on January 6, 2017 at 02:27:15:
That is not correct. The stream from Tidal is the same as always. The additional information for the hi-rez is "folded" within the standard audio stream but can be "unfolded" by an MQA decoder. If you haven't got an MQA decoding DAC then that additional information is just ignored.
